Resurfacing work on Hewletts Road is progressing well and due to be completed next week. The last piece of the puzzle is the Golf Road roundabout nightworks, due to start Sunday 13 April.
For 2 nights, Sunday 13 and Monday 14 April, between 8pm and 5am, the Golf Road roundabout will be closed to all traffic for resurfacing and pavement repairs. Due to narrow lane widths and size of the equipment needed, a full road closure is required.
Alternative routes are available depending on final destinations, and mobile message boards will be in place to advise motorists.
Closing the road provides the safest working environment for our crews, allowing them to work effectively and efficiently.
After the Golf Road roundabout road repairs are completed, more work will continue on Golf Road on behalf of Tauranga City Council.
Further along State Highway 2 (SH2), on the Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road (TELTR) at the Domain Road flyover, 4 nights of repairs are scheduled to address sections of uneven road at the bridge abutments. To do this work both lanes of traffic will be closed at different times to complete the repairs.
TELTR eastbound closure (towards Paengaroa) – overnight Sunday 13 April between 6pm and 5am and overnight Monday 14 April between 8pm and 5am. Eastbound detour via the Domain Road roundabout and back on to SH2 via the TELTR onramp.
TELTR westbound closure (towards Tauranga) – overnight Tuesday 15 and overnight Wednesday 16 April, between 8pm and 5am. Westbound detour via the Domain Road offramp and roundabouts then back on to SH2.
There will be a temporary speed limit of 70km/h in place for the duration of the work and while the site is unattended.
This work is weather dependent, and dates may change if the weather isn’t favourable.
NZTA thanks road users for their patience.
